I am having a problem with troff's grap utility. I have 2 grap variables that I need to pass to a shell command except that I can not seem to dereference them. The following grap script illustrates what I am trying to do. To run it, but the next 5 lines in test.grp and issue 'grap test.grp >/dev/null'. .G1 start_date = 19901112 end_date = 19910102 sh X echo 1>&2 start_date end_date X .G2 What I want to see as output is: 19901112 19910102 What I am currently getting is: start_date end_date ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Rudolph Electronic: uunet!motcid!rudolph Motorola Inc, N349 Voice: (708) 632-2779 1501 West Shure Drive Fax: (708) 632-5694 Arlington Heights, IL 60004 Disclaimer: It's mine...
